Docker
What is Docker and why is it used?
Docker is a software platform that allows you to build, test, and deploy applications quickly. Docker packages software into standardized units called containers that have everything the software needs to run including libraries, system tools, code, and runtime.
What is Docker vs Kubernetes?
Docker is a suite of software development tools for creating, sharing and running individual containers; Kubernetes is a system for operating containerized applications at scale. Think of containers as standardized packaging for microservices with all the needed application code and dependencies inside.
Why is Docker so useful?
Configuration and consistent delivery of your applications: Docker offers a faster, more resource-efficient, and standardized way to develop, ship, and run applications. Applications can be distributed on various platforms without worrying about framework, library, and compatibility issues.
